Does the street grooming of girls in UK represent an example of human trafficking, no different to any others? I don't know much about the subject, but my understanding is that street grooming differs in as much as the majority of human trafficking undertaken by organised gangs worldwide, is a financial endevour. Not a lot different in essence to any other form of slave trade, bar the 'services' so to speak provided by the slavers victims. Based on this difference, I would suggest that street grooming does not perhaps naturally fall into the same catagory of criminal activity as the international slave trade? It strikes me that it echoes more closely the covert sexual crimes of paedophile circles. As said, I don't know enough on the subject to offer an well informed opinion on the topic, but personally I'd be disinclined to fully conflate street grooming with human trafficking, as they appear to me to be somewhat different things.
